Recently, many new studies applying computer vision (CV) to street view imagery (SVI) datasets objectively extract the indices of various streetscape features such as trees proxy urban scene qualities have emerged. However, human perception (e.g., imageability) a subtle relationship visual elements that cannot be fully captured using indices. Conversely, subjective measures survey and interview data explain behaviors more. effectiveness integrating with SVI has been less discussed. To...

This study extended the technology acceptance model and empirically tested new with wikis, a type of educational technology. Based on social cognitive theory planned behavior, three variables, wiki self-efficacy, online posting anxiety, perceived behavioral control, were added to original model. A structural equation was developed. Both qualitative quantitative methods conducted test The found that ease use, usefulness, use intention have direct indirect significant impact usage in classroom.

Green construction technologies (GCTs) are important drivers of sustainable development in the industry. Despite a wide range GCTs being available on Chinese market, they not yet widely popular. This study aims to evaluate critical barriers hampering large-scale GCT adoption China. Through literature review, 21 were identified and listed questionnaire survey, 225 valid responses from provinces China collected. The Mann–Whitney U test was conducted verify whether different stakeholder groups...

Renovating old neighborhoods for the benefit of people has become increasingly important in urban renewal. Nevertheless, neighborhood renovations are currently considered a group decision-making issue under public participation, involving diverse subjects. Conflicts within common problem during decision-making. In this paper, conflict is examined process renovating and novel ideas provided quantifying conflict. Public participation assessed using degree calculations Based on preferences...

Abstract The migration of rural laborers into cities for employment has been one the main driving forces China's economic growth over past three decades. Based on a dataset collected by Ministry Agriculture China from 2003 to 2007, this paper examines impact health earnings migrant workers engaging in physically‐intensive work requiring good health. Our findings indicate that poor status not only weakens incentive participate labor force but also significantly reduces their earnings. A...

The success of construction projects heavily depends on the compliance parties with ethical codes conduct. Unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB) may serve as a barrier to close collaboration between parties. Although empowering leadership is generally considered be beneficial project management, this study argues that unintentionally increase tendency employees adopt UPB. aim uncover influencing mechanism underlying and UPB by introducing mediating role stress. It hypothesized can...

Safety education and training for employees is important to ensure the safety of construction improve awareness employees. It difficult meet needs new situation production with traditional consequences enterprises. To address this deficiency, research analyzed formation mechanism behavior personnel at different levels in enterprises from perspective behaviorist psychology studied their training, designing programs simple complex according degree difficulty content. This also developed tested...

Construction safety climate (CSC) has become an important part of the construction research field in recent years. This paper analyzes current status, hot spots, and trends CSC by sorting 531 articles Web Science (WOS) database from 2017–2022 through visualization software VOSviewer. The study shows that (1) China made significant contributions to research, with Chan, A.P.C. being most published cited scholars years, respectively, laying foundation for CSC; (2) hotspots include two main...

There are many unpredictable circumstances during the implementation process of a water conservancy project, which often cause financial loss, increased construction costs and schedule delays. This paper investigates influence factors for project cost control. The present study used factor analysis method to extract major control factors, performed correlation clarify relationship between these sub-factors under each factor. Several practitioners were invited analyze provide some strategic...

In order to ensure a smooth construction project, it is necessary select an appropriate contractor. However, traditional bid evaluation methods are highly subjective in determining weights. Data envelopment analysis (DEA), comprehensive method that considers multiple factors, was introduced reduce subjectivity and provide simple yet for evaluating bids. Based on the existing cross-evaluation balance index models, this research proposed new DEA ranking model—the input efficiency model, as...

The project delivery mode is an extremely important link in the life cycle of water engineering. Many cases show that increases costs, construction period, and claims course implementation engineering are related to decision early stages. Therefore, it particularly choose a matches On basis identifying key factors affect on system establishing set index systems, comprehensive transaction essentially considered be fuzzy multi-attribute group decision. In this study, intuitionistic entropy was...

This study aimed to analyse the epidemiological characteristics of bacillary dysentery (BD) caused by Shigella in Chongqing, China, and establish incidence prediction models based on correlation between meteorological factors BD, thus providing a scientific basis for prevention control BD.In this study, descriptive methods were employed investigate distribution BD. The Boruta algorithm was used estimate BD incidence. genetic (GA) combined with support vector regression (SVR) incidence.In...

Microsensors were applied to study the diffusion reaction and activity of a nitrogen species deposit sediment from drinking water supply system. Microprofiles dissolved oxygen (DO), NH4+-N, NO3--N, NO2-N in indicated that DO concentration decreased highest at surface zero bottom sediment. Similarly, with increase depth, NH4+-N initially increased rapidly then slowly, while NO3--N reached maximum around 6000 μm about 0.1 mg·L-1 near Almost no change was observed for NO2--N. The decrease...

Various factors affecting the construction progress are regarded as bottlenecks giving rise to project duration overrun. The contractor should combine schedule with plan in order reduce uncertainty of activities. present research describes method derived from theory constraints (TOC) attempts enhance relationship among activities, revise and further activities improve reliability progress. elements drum, buffer rope (DBR) TOC added PERT network schedule; through identification bottleneck...

The goals of sustainable development are constantly negatively impacted by infrastructure initiatives. importance these projects in advancing the economic, social, and civilizational growth country will, however, prevent their construction from being stopped. overall project is related to scientific unbiased assessment an project’s sustainability throughout decision-making stage. Based on references documents, this paper establishes index system for evaluating three aspects: environment,...

This paper aims to tackle a general but interesting cross-modality problem in remote sensing community: can multimodal images help generate synthetic time series and improve temporal resolution? To this end, we explore multimodal-temporal fusion, which attempt leverage the availability of additional simulate missing series. We propose fusion framework, mainly focus on two kinds information for simulation: intra-modal inter-modal information. exploit information, adopt available paired learn...

Parks, gardens, and recreation areas play a vital role since they significantly improve the overall health of citizens, help meet people's needs for social interaction, provide residents with safe outdoor activities in green environment, especially during COVID-19 pandemic. China has rich cultural heritage, namely, sustainable national reserves, parks, gardens. Despite numerous studies dedicated to sustainability landscape architecture, there is lack research on approaches Chinese including...
